Launch windows store apps from Excel VBA

[rdoulaghsingh]

Is it possible to launch a windows store app from excel VBA? I'm trying to launch the alarm and clock app to use the timer when clicked from a button in Excel. The run command to launch the app is "explorer.exe shell:Appsfolder\Microsoft.WindowsAlarms_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App". I don't know how to go about launching this using Excel though.

You should be able to call shell commands directly in VBA with the Shell function: https://www.myonlinetraininghub.com/vba-shell
